Chassis?

[HRM Johnny]

At ~$400 range, the Oryx chassis is your best bet It's heavy and stock non-folding, but it"S very good. I built my .257WBY with it.

What is your goal weight for the hunt-ready setup?

Thanks for this

Thanks for this

Yes, Sir! Here's my budget build .257 WBY.

So I'm interested in trying a Chassis for a rifle build. I'm wading through a lot of different options. My biggest issue is weight as I'm not looking to build a 20lb PRS rifle. I'd like to budget less than $1000 for the complete chassis and stay preferably around $800 for the complete chassis.

So how realistic is my goal to stay around 36 ounces? I really don't want to go over 40 ounces if possible. I'll be using my M700 action and a 18‐20" light varmint contour barrel to build a .223 Rem.

I'd like to stay under 10lbs if possible.

Here's something for you to ponder. For your budget for a chassis, you can have the rifle below, which is supposedly 7.5 lbs. Good luck!

MDT XRS chassis is around 3.9# at about $550

XRS Chassis System

The XRS Chassis is designed for shooters that want the fit and feel of a traditional shaped rifle stock with the benefits of a modern precision rifle chassis system.

Chassis rifles are hard to get use to.! I now have 2. An XLR Element and the MDT Oryx. The XLR is by far a better chassis. I just ordered the MDT Field stock for a Tikka budget 25 Creedmoor build

The only thing I dislike about that rifle is the magazine. If I go with a standard SA rifle and chassis I can run a cartridge length of 2.55" vs. 2.25" or shorter. Then there is the fact that I have to drive a lot just to pick up a firearm. Since I'm required to fill out the paperwork and cool off, and I have a 140 mile round trip twice to visit the more reliable FFL.

I looked at that one, and it's more money than I want to spend. I don't need a folder, I'm not going to backpack in with a .223 Rem on any hunts. I could go with another Greyboe Trekker as I figure it's close to a chassis, I have one on my .308 Win.

MDT has just come out with a new carbon fiber stock that may be worth considering. I think it was priced at $999.99
